This game is very good. As a matter of fact the original was the first product I ever wrote a review for on Amazon. This is a five star game then and now, I deducted a point though. I have bought this game three seperate times, once as regular Stronghold Crusader, then I bought the Warchest which contained Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader+some extras, and now I have bought Stronghold Crusader Extreme. It contains the original Stronghold Crusader+the Warchest extras, and now it has a new trail, with 20 extreme missions, and tactical powers like arrow volleys that can kill most enemies on screen. There is also a new 10,000 man cap, so expect a lot more action in this version. Thats why I gave it a five star fun factor. Its like Stronghold Crusader on steroids, and this game still has its charm, and it still is VERY INTENSE. To be honest I love this game, and this new version brought it back to life for me. And I should also mention its now Vista compatible, and the multiplayer aspect also adds a lot more depth to the game.
But there is a downside. There is no real market for this game besides the hardcore fan who probably owns a lot of this games content already. Are they willing to spend the cash for a lot more men, outposts, a new trail, and some tactical powers? I was and Im glad I did. New people to Stronghold Crusader need to realize the original game is from 2002 and buy it for its gameplay, instead of for eyecandy. This is not state of the art in the graphics department. But I recommend it whole heartedly. And there is a whole lot of game here, especially if you are new to Crusader. This is one of the best games of alltime.
i like it

Original Crusader was much more enjoyable. I haven't played this game more than a couple times. Extreme additions are more distracting than strategic. Stick with the original Stronghold and Crusader games and play other's maps.
